According to surviving plans in the Municipal Archives of Chemnitz, the building was a broad house with a symmetric floor plan, consisting of a square main hall (inner measurements: 6.70 x 6.70m) with flanking side wings (inner measurements: 3.10 x 6.30m). The entrance was from the east, and the west wall had a polygonal apse (1.70 x 2.30m). The north wing consisted of a room for cleansing and dressing the body (4.10 x 3.10m) and a smaller room for the guard (2.05 x 3.10m). The south wing had a waiting room for the rabbi and the bereaved family (3.70 x 3.10) and a smaller one for keeping burial tools and utensils (2.30 x 3.10m). The main hall was covered by a hipped roof and the wings – by semi-hipped roofs.

The east facade had a central door with upper twin arched windows on either side, and each wing was pierced by a single large arched window. Two chimneys of the heating stoves were located in the east and west walls of the main hall.

The west wall had a polygonal apse which was flanked by upper twin arched windows. The north wing had a small arched window for the cleansing room. The utensil room on the south wing had a door opening to the west.

The south wall of the building had two large arched windows, each of the two rooms in the southern wing. The north wall of the building had a door leading from the cleansing room to the graveyard.

The plan was probably executed with few changes. Most likely, a door was located between the cleansing room and the main hall, allowing direct passage. This conjecture is further supported by drawings for the expansion of 1924, in which this door already appears. In the guard room, it is possible that an additional window was present on the north wall, as this is indicated on the 1924 drawing.

I. The burial society Hevra Kadisha submitted a request for a building permit for a cemetery hall on February 27, 1882. In March 1882, the Royal District Administrator approved the request. Involved in the construction were Dresel, Landsberg and Levy – members of the Jewish community of Chemnitz, the contractor Ernst Sänger and the architect, possibly Reisig, who signed the construction drawings. In the course of that year, 1882, the chapel in the Jewish cemetery, parcel number 293, was built.
II. In 1924, new plans to enlarge the cemetery chapel were prepared by the architects Naumann and Kalitzki. While the building was going on, the plan was somewhat altered and renovations were completed in 1928. The building was confiscated in 1943, and was to be demolished in 1944. Instead, it was rented by Auto-Union A-G until July 1945. That year, the building was given back to the Jewish community in Chemnitz, but the place was plundered two years later. In 1949, permission was granted for its reuse as a cemetery chapel.
III. The building of 1924, given back to the Jewish community in 1945, was renovated as follows:
In 1955 the old heating system was changed, and a proposal for installing a gas exhaust chimney was submitted.
In 1968 the building was renovated.
In 1997 the facades and roof were renovated.
